Twas a beautiful day in this part of Tennessee! I went with the family to see the migration of hummingbirds in Hollysprings, MS., then I got to play and work on our place this afternoon.
Thought I'd show some pics of where I've been hunting for the last year and a half. This whole 2 acre area was covered in privet when we bought the place. As you can see, I still have a lot of work ahead of me. I found all these things today by Sophie's tree house. This area drops off on all sides about 15-20 feet, I've found the largest concentration of stuff along the edges. The edge on the west (tree house side) is the last edge I haven't really combed over, I've got about a 15 by 200 foot area to clear there. Today I divided my time between mowing, burning brush, and detecting. About an hour of my detectin' time I had my youngest daughter strapped to my chest. That extra 20 pounds is a real b1t@h!
I started clearing that west edge today and I found 2 eagle cuff buttons, a bullet (44 maybe?), part of a knapsack hook, a rivet, a lead seal, an iron stake, misc. lead and some other stuff. It's nice finally being able to identify some of this when I'm pulling it out of the ground, I won't mention the stuff I chunked before I found this site and the "what is it?" thread.
